My Aunt, 1969 Mogadishu...

[empressjamila]

Wallahi, they kinda qarxiised their aunt. What if we know that one eedo from Xamar who somehow knows everyone who ever lived there and she knows the OP's aunt and through her we get a list of her relations and thus a narrowing of the OP's identity.

Yea you couldn’t pay me enough to be posting my family up on here

With how interconnected somalis are someone’s bound to recognize her and then figure out who the op is LOL

It’s isn’t necessarily that modern women want to follow it, we have no other choice and if we don’t wear it we are called names or get crucified for it (especially for those who live in Somalia).

We as women do not have any rights ever since the civil war erupted, Somalis changed in a blink of an eye and actually force men and women to act a certain way and do things a certain way

Your mom wears a xijab in front of you and never uncovers her hair? Why?! She's your mom. You're mahram. That's absurd. And I would not call pre-civil war Somalis "secular". As in irreligious. Very, very few really were. Most were still firm believers in Islam unlike you, walaal. They just didn't practice the dhaqan very much.

Somali hooyos don't let their hair down at the house. They have that bee hive style when with their families.

What?! What weird ass families do you people belong to? All of my close aunts and my mom have never covered their hair in front of me. I'm mahram, niyahow. I can't bloody marry them, that would be xaram. Why bother covering? It's the same at other households I know. No nigga's own hooyo covers her hair in front of him, pre-pubescent boys and like nephews born to her sister. Your cid don't even seem to know what religion they're practicing.

Many do actually. It's just the Somali style.

My sisters did not cover but the hooyos and aunts have the Ilhan thing going on.

They're Salafi. They curse Sufis and gaals regularly.

Now I almost believe you really are a Christian apostate. Salafi loons, no offense intended, tend to churn out apostates.

I've seen it. But its mostly with the fobs. They wear gabasar in the house or at least shaash/bandana on with mahrams. I know a family in which the father makes his daughters wear hijab in the house as a way to teach them to wear it all the time. Its the most strangest thing.

It's pretty normal actually, don't even think it's a uniquely salafi thing

It isn't Salafi at all. Its just fobs being fobs.

So strange. Your own mother covering her hair from you. What in the name of...?

It's not a hijab. It's a Somali style hair cover. It comes in handy in case they have to answer the door or if guests come.

I know what you're talking about. Still weird. Your own hooyo saxiib. Yaab.

Its strange, but when you think about it back home they have an open door type of household in which people live with their extended families and many of them are non Mahrams like cousins ect so because of that they've become used to wearing a gabasar all the time. So once they come to the West and people only really live with their immediate family, they don't snap out of wearing gabasar in the house, even though they now have freedom to.

Why are you acting surprised? I stayed with Khaleeji close families and they did the same and they were there since the 70s and 80s themselves. Aren't you from Dubai?

Truly never seen this, niyahow. Most Khaleeji families I know don't do this. The hooyo will not cover her hair in front of her own sons or the sons of her sister and brothers nor boys who haven't hit puberty.

I grew up in the khaleej and all the somali households i been to are like that. Think you're the anomaly

I know but in Khaleeji dhaqan, there is no freemixing with non Mahrams. Women have more privacy there.

Not just me, niyahow. But all the fams I grew up around. This is genuinely weird and unheard of to me. But eh, there are some "fobs" among us.

Why would a Khaleeji cover their hair in their own households? I get fobs because of the nature of Somali households back home. Are you sure they're not fobs? The Somali khaleejis who've been their decades have very Arab mannerisms.
